TL;DR: In this paper, the structural properties of micelles comprising 5, 20, and 30 molecules of the nonionic surfactant Tween80 were investigated by all-atom level molecular dynamics simulation in explicit water system.

TL;DR: The hybrid Record surpassed the other hybrids in most of the studied yield and quality characters and revealed that the hybrid record gave the highest values for average leaf area, head diameter, 1000 seed weight, seed oil percentage and non-saturated fatty acids.

TL;DR: It could be concluded that addition of 1% LMP to the diet which contain FSM is considered optimal for growth of mono-sex Nile tilapia,O.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared various waste management methods and suggested a comparatively better method of plasma arc gasification, in which pyrolysis of solid waste takes place at very high temperature thus ensuring syngases as the output of gasifier.

TL;DR: In this article, a potentiometric sensor based on photocurable self-plasticizing poly(n-butylacrylate) membrane with immobilized BTCH as ionophore exhibits linear response in a Nernstian manner within the concentration range of 10-5 - 0.1 M mercury ions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature of fermentation environment, chopped length of the forages and fermentation period on the quality of silage were investigated by cross-relating other available knowledge in this field.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified corn cob was modified with phosphoric acid (PA) to help improve their natural biosorption capacity, and the influence of various parameters such as initial solution concentration, initial biomass concentration and temperature on biosorsorption potential of agricultural waste material was studied in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was carried out to determine the concentration of acrylamide and pyrazines in different origin of cocoa beans roasted at 116°C and time of 23min.
